Comments on: I weep as I write this… http://www.fairtradesports.com/radiohead-exit.htm Fairly traded soccer balls, volleyballs, and more Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:23:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Heather Moraal http://www.fairtradesports.com/radiohead-exit.htm#comment-23913 Heather Moraal Thu, 08 May 2008 21:03:54 +0000 http://www.fairtradesports.com/radiohead-exit.htm#comment-23913 Scott - I just wanted to say thank you for sending this email. Slavery is something that we all know about, but it's another big issue that is pushed to the back of our minds, and thought about infrequently before it is, again, pushed back. This information was a big eye opener for me, and from today on, I will no longer push it to the back of my mind. As a mom of a 2 yo son and a 4 yo daughter, I count my blessings every single day that they are safe, and it truly makes tears come to my eyes to simply imagine them in other children's horrific situations. Thank you for giving me the push I needed - I will start today with buying fair trade soccer balls to supply to our daughter's soccer team. It's small, but it's a start. Thank you for giving me the encouragement that I have been seeking to start acting. Scott - I just wanted to say thank you for sending this email.
